Drow smashed with Wood Elves cooked in the pot of Tolkien.

A lot of native indian stuff.
>>
Native American, coupled with a bit of European nature religion so it's more accessible.
>>
>>54164729
They're basically just purple wood elves
I'm not understanding the native American thing when they're mostly celtic+japanese in naming and culture though
>>
>>54164729
Native Americans with side of druidic folklore mixed with classic Wood Elves.
>>
The Tauren are the native Americans, guys.

Night elves are more like defeated, reformed romans.
>>
>>54165134
We're talking about WC3, not WoW.
>>
The Tauren are native americans, the night elves are celtic druids which arabic words.
>>
>>54165145
Even then this guy is retarded. I think he acts this way to bump this thread.

>>54165152
Didn't know the celts had spirit animals.
>>
Why does she wear so little armor? It's next to useless.
>>
>>54165188
Please stay on-topic.
>>
>>54165188
Probably part of some 3D porn pic set.
>>
op here, dabbled in this franchise for a while and it's just interest on deconstructing the race, dividing the immediate artistic appearance and cultural patterns\constructs. Wanna to move on to real non-imaginary women. And yes, retroactively adding setting things is what the developers are known for, I'd like to understand the initial appeals behind the womyn-society apart from fanservice.

Fine. Like the others said, they base the race off Native American tropes, which for some reason means that the more primitive the culture, the less clothes they wear. Because native Americans were so in tune with nature, they could withstand being out in the elements, covering only their naughty bits.

Welcome to warcraft aesthetics.
>>
>>54165188
Because she's a druid, not a warrior. She turns into a saber toothed cat when she wants to fight

That's really nothing restricted to native americans, but to "wild" and "barbaric" races in general, to show their contempt for the warfare of civilized races and to show off their fitter and stronger bodies. Though the nightelves, at least in WC3, did also fight in armor.
>>
>>54165253
No, Warcraft aesthetics is ALL armor, shining with different lights like a Christmas tree, also with gigantic pauldrons.

What is this heresy? This is not Warcaft 3.
>>
>>54165315
He is Warcraft, not WoW.
>>
>>54165211
That's the night elf from the vanilla intro, fag.

Are you sure? In warcraft?
>>
>>54165349
That high elf is 'bout to get fucked up.
>>
>>54165315
In the strategy games it was a little more varied, some units like the footmen were exactly like that armour to the max, while others like the trolls and night elf basic bitch archers were barely clothed.
>>
>>54165325
Well she's from the World of Warcraft original opening cinematic, after the arts of druidism and martial combat had both been de-segregated following the fall of the World Tree.

>>54164729
Better Question:
What was the first futa Draenai horsecock image ever, which spawned the entire all-encompassing trend?
>>
INDUBITABLY
KINKY
you hear you lose
>>
>>54165499
Think night elves did it first.
>>
>>54165364
Isn't nature wonderful?
>>
>>54164729
It's just generic elves with a palette swap or drows with alignment swap. Does it matter? It is still quite generic.
>>
>>54165349
DJOUNNA AXE?
>>
>>54165499
Me. I was one of the first.
>>
>>54165364
Not if they autistically shoot and throw things at each other at that range.
>>
>>54165918
They are so close to each other, the troll probably just wants to hug him.
